Objective:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the perspectives of past and present leaders from the American Public Health Association's Chiropractic Health Care (CHC) section regarding opportunities for future growth and contributions CHC could have on the chiropractic profession and public health.
Methods:
From June to July 2024, 50 identified individuals were invited to participate in an anonymous, online, structured questionnaire survey including free-text responses. A qualitative thematic analysis, rooted in pragmatism, was performed using inductive and deductive approaches.
Results:
Nineteen (38% response) were included in the analysis. Three main themes were identified from the comments: 1) internal engagement of the section promotes professional growth and encourages a strong sense of community; 2) leadership and productivity of the section are closely related to growing and supporting membership; and 3) section leadership should focus on adding value to the chiropractic profession through involvement in public health domains.
Conclusion:
This qualitative analysis of past and present CHC leadership surveys identified 3 primary themes that may guide strategic planning, policy development, and research initiatives.
